Lexus Light Grayish Rose Pearl (3K7) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This color represents the peak of 1990s Japanese luxury. It helped define the smooth, aerodynamic silhouettes of the original ES300 and the legendary SC coupes. While the name suggests a floral pink, the reality is far more sophisticated. It is a warm, misty gray that uses its pearl layer to shift into a soft rose glow when the sun hits the body lines of your car. Since these vehicles have been on the road for decades, your original paint has likely aged, so this fresh application will help bring back that iridescent depth.

Technical Details

Because you are working with a pearl finish, the final appearance depends entirely on how you build the color. Pearl paints contain translucent flakes that catch light at different angles. This means that if you apply a single heavy coat, the finish can look dark or blotchy. To get a factory look, you need to rely on several thin layers. The benefit is a finish with a deep, three-dimensional quality, but the risk is a color mismatch if you do not keep the application consistent across the repair area.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Lexus Light Grayish Rose Pearl (check for code 3K7 on the identification sticker inside your driver's side door jamb), you need to shake the container for a full minute. Those pearl particles are heavy and settle quickly, so thorough mixing is the only way to ensure the rose tint shows up correctly. Always test the color on the included card to see how the pearl lays down before moving to your Lexus. Keep the container moving at all times and allow for plenty of drying time between your light layers to prevent the paint from sagging.
